Now more about Acadiana
Aviaries and the birds!

Thank you for visiting Zebrafinch.com.
Let me tell you a little bit about my avicultural history. My
experience in keeping birds dates back to childhood, because my
parents kept birds. As a teenager I started my own collection
of cage birds beginning with Ringneck Doves, Cockatiels, and Zebra
Finches. I still keep all of these and much, much more! In 1980,
I named my bird farm Acadiana Aviaries. After all,
I grew up in Acadiana (the heart of Cajun country), and my entire
family is comprised of native, French speaking Acadians. I too
understand and speak local Louisiana French. My choice
many years ago for the name of the farm, Acadiana Aviaries, sounded
good then and it still does today! I thank my family and friends
for all their support thoughout the years.

Currently, there are many buildings which make
up the bird farm. The largest building is 130 feet long and 30
feet wide; it houses an untold number of birds (several thousand,
seriously!) which occupy 76 walk-in flight cages under one roof!
These flights are home to finches, Diamond
doves, Exotic doves,
and Button Quail.
The farm has several other buildings; the two largest each hold
over 100 individual breeding cages for finches. In these cages
are rare color varietyes Society

As of Feb 2013 I have sold
nearly all of my Zebra Finch mutations

I will still keep and breed
a few zebras but not many.

I WILL BE GLAD TO DIRECT
YOU TO OTHER BREEDERS WHO DO HAVE THE VARIETIES YOU ARE LOOKING
FOR, SO SEND ME AN EMAIL.

For over 25 years I kept and bred Victoria
Crowned Pigeons (read about them here),
I no longer have them but I sure have good memories of many years
with them. Around my main building is a yard containing a few
varieties of domestic geese currently mostly Brown
Chinese(hatching
eggs available of some Geese, see below for more info) to name a few, Plus I use to have both Charmain,
and Sweeny my two Pygmy Goats.
They are both gone now and I do miss them very much, they use
to follow me around everywhere!

So you can see we have at lot of "stuff'
that keeps all of us very busy! Just read my Favorite
Poem.

If you want to, you can even take a tour of my Bird Farm and visit
my tropical
garden(it's
a great place to get away from the birds :) see all of the buildings
and look in the flights and cages.
